Saccharopolyspora coralli sp. nov. a novel actinobacterium isolated from the stony coral Porites

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020
A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile actinobacterium, designated strain E2AT, was isolated from a coral sample and examined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain E2ATformed a distinct phyletic lineage in the genusSaccharopolysporaand was closely related toS ...

Zooarchaeological Analysis of an Atoll Assemblage From Central Micronesia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There has been a dearth of archaeological research on atolls in the central‐eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. This has limited our understanding of pre‐contact subsistence and settlement strategies in these more marginal and remote environments, particularly in regards to zooarchaeological data.

Different skeletal protein toolkits achieve similar structure and performance in the tropical coral Stylophora pistillata and the temperate Oculina patagonica

Scientific Reports, 2022
Stony corals (order: Scleractinia) differ in growth form and structure. While stony corals have gained the ability to form their aragonite skeleton once in their evolution, the suite of proteins involved in skeletogenesis is different for different coral

DIVERSITY OF STONY CORALS IN BANGGAI WATER

Marine Research in Indonesia, 2015
Banggai waters, located in Central Sulawesi Province, is part of the world’s coral triangle area which is well–known to have the highest diversity on stony corals (Scleractinia). A research on stony corals has been carried out at 9 study sites between June–July 2011, practicing line transect methods and free collection in order to determine the ...

Tracking the Dynamics of human Colonisation and Adaptation in Central Vanuatu: Preliminary Results From Excavation and Survey at Pangpang, East Efate

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In October 2022 an extensive archaeological landscape was identified by staff of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre at Pangpang on the east coast of Efate Island in central Vanuatu. It included midden deposits on the banks of the Pangpang River near the sea at Forari Bay where Lapita and Early Erueti‐style pottery sherds were recovered.

Factors that Limit Establishment of Stony Corals [PDF]

Berkeley Scientific Journal, 2019
Author(s): Temby, Michelle C. | Abstract: Corals occupy less than 1% of the surface area of world oceans but provide a home for 25% of all marine fish species. This study analyzed individual coral heads, specifically the genus Pocillopora (tentative identification: Pocillopora elegans), and their establishments in Cuajiniquil using 3 locations in the ...

Benthic community structure on coral reefs exposed to intensive recreational snorkeling.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chronic anthropogenic disturbances on coral reefs in the form of overfishing and pollution can shift benthic community composition away from stony corals and toward macroalgae.

Global biogeography of zoantharians indicates a weak genetic differentiation between the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans, and distinct communities in tropical and temperate provinces [PDF]

Frontiers of Biogeography
Biogeographic patterns for marine fishes and scleractinian stony corals are well-established, but it is still unclear whether these patterns apply to the understudied marine invertebrates. Here we investigate the distribution of zoantharians (=zoanthids),

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

The impact of stony coral tissue loss disease and amoxicillin treatments on coral gametogenesis

Frontiers in Marine Science
The unprecedented mortality of stony corals on Florida’s Coral Reef from stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was mitigated on some priority sites and corals through the use of a topical amoxicillin paste to halt disease lesion progression.
